Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin said Friday that he expects to be offered an extension from the team in the near future, but reiterated that he wasn't worried about his contract status.

Following a record-breaking 2015 season, the 27-year-old Baldwin is entering the final year of a three-year, $13 million extension he signed in 2014. On Friday, he told SiriusXM NFL Radio that although formal negotiations have yet to begin, he expected an offer from Seahawks general manager John Schneider soon.

"Honestly, we haven't started conversations yet," Baldwin told hosts Jeff Rickard and Pat Kirwan. "I did have a meeting -- a one-on-one meeting with John Schneider a couple weeks ago -- and he assured me that we'd be on the way of discussing a possible extension in the next couple weeks. That was before the draft, so I'm expecting something something to get started here shortly."

"I've been on record saying this. I'm not too worried about it," Baldwin said. "I know that I've got one year left on my contract, so I'm going to be with the Seattle Seahawks this year regardless. So I'm just going to focus on that, the task at hand, which is being the best that I can be for my teammates this season."

Baldwin caught a career-high 78 passes last year for 1,069 yards and 14 touchdowns, which tied for the league lead and broke the single-season franchise record held by Daryl Turner since 1985.

His emergence helped the Seahawks' offense take off in the second half of the 2015 campaign, particularly during a four-game stretch from Nov. 29 through Dec. 20 when Baldwin had 21 receptions for 366 yards and 10 touchdowns.
